SD invoice - post on vendor account

Question

Hello,
This is the situation I am currently facing:
We need to create an SD invoice which has both positive (normal sales) and negative (returns) line items.
The problem is we need to post the positive items on the customer account and the negative ones on the vendor account. This has to happen when the customer is also a vendor for our organization.
How can this be done, without going into MM documents, so only in SD ?
Thankyou in advance,
Cosmin

Answer 1

Hi Cosmin,
It is a very tricky senario. I am really not sure if the above said result can be achieved in one sales order itself unless you have some significant abap development. 
I was thinking of intercompany billing sinario here. Can you just give a try on this. It may work for you.
a. You create two company codes A and B.
b. Create Plant A and B and assign them to the respective company codes.
c. Create customer B Company Code A. Plant B should be created as vendor as well.
d. Do the intercompany settings.
Once the setting is done, then,
a. create a sales order with all the line items from company A to company B and company B to company A in the same sales order. Let the plant for the line items from A to B be Plant A and Company B to company A be Plant B.
b. Create the billing document. The document will be released to FI. ---> Say Invoice1.
c. Create the intercompany invoice. Here, Plant B will be the customer who also becomes your vendor. The FI document gets created. RD04 should be triggered so that vendor posting happens thro' EDI.
At this point you need to have an abap development which will reverse all the entries for in FI document for Invoice1 where the supply is from Plant B.
If this can be done, then, I think the desired result can be achieved.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
